ABOUT MICHELLE
I understand how it feels frustrating to have a massive to do list and spend your time helping other people but never do anything for yourself. You probably spend time wishing that you had more control over your life and more time and energy to spend some time getting the things that you want.
I get it, as a busy working mum, balancing the needs of a child, partner, household chores and life admin on top of having to make money!
It can be overwhelming sometimes ( or quite a bit of the time).
I BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN GET WHAT YOU WANT WITHOUT SACRIFICING YOUR SANITY
PSYCHOLOGIST & COACH
I'm a Chartered Organisational Psychologist and Coach, the co-founder of a couple of businesses. And a mum in a neurodiverse family.
I'm at my happiest when I'm coaching wonderful humans, creating courses, programmes, webinars and facilitating positive change in my clients.
I'm good at spotting the unique strengths in the people around me and championing them to put them into action. I love meeting new people, connecting humans, creating communities, understanding and getting to know people well.
My clients tell me that working with me is fun, and I'm great at creating a safe place for humans to explore. I am curious, playful, sensitive, intuitive and have a deep understanding of positive psychology and personal development.
​
Helping people positively transform their lives is the most rewarding part of my job.
HOW I WORK
I draw on 20+ (eek) years of being an Organisational Psychologist and applying my knowledge in skills in lots of different situations - leadership and organisational development, employee selection and assessment, coaching and personal development within big corporates, public sector organisations and SMEs, as both an employee and as an external consultant.
​
When you're working with me, I help you figure out what you want, help get out of your comfort zone, and grow along the way. I am here to help you with your own journey—to help you design your own ideal life by rediscovering your courage to be the person you want to be, in order to create what you want to create.
​
Our relationship is so important. You have all the power and you hold the agenda. My job is to hold the space for us and ask you powerful questions to help give you new insights, a better understanding of the resources you have and more clarity in your life.
​
I love learning new things and I am forever attending courses and reading books. I've completed Co-Active Coaching Fundamentals course and an interesting introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. I’ve also almost completed Tara Mohr’s 6-month Playing Big Facilitator Programme too. I love drawing on the best bits from my learning and putting them into practice to benefit my clients.
